Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 5. Order. Sequence is fixed by the order of the words, and by other rules when the words do not decide. The line is short. samavāyāt (समवायात्) from 5.1.12 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: sthānāt (स्थानात्) + ca-utpatti-saṃyogāt (च-उत्पत्ति-संयोगात्)
